Excerpt from Recollections of a Rebel Reefer
It has been said that adventures come only to him who seeks them, but I am doubtful of the correctness of this adage, for I can truthfully say that I had as little to do with the shaping of my course in life as has an empty bottle thrown overboard in mid-ocean. I spent the most impor tant years of a boy's life, those between fifteen and nine teen, so far as education and the formation of character are concerned, tied to a sword and in the midst of a most cruel war, and when peace came I was wafted hither and thither, the sport of the fickle winds of varying fortune, and having sailed 'neath alien skies and trod the desert pa naturally I imagine that I have met with some adventures out of the usual run of the average school boy's experiences, and if I have written some of them down, it has been with the laudable desire of amusing other people rather than personal vanity or desire for notoriety.
